<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I send this via this strange self sent and forwarding as I participate as a troll on a few different lists. And respect the desire, although outdated, against cross posting. The downtrodden GA list is so beat upon by ICANN that to even be seen there is the kiss of death for activity in governance. Such greats as Mueller, Flemming, Baptista, Thrush, Gaetano, Karl, Crispin and Crocker are archived to prove they got their Governance start there.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Tue, 8/11/09, Hugh Dierker <I><hdierker2204@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:<BR>

<DIV>I do not think this is enough. It is not a matter of the 3. It is a matter of "Complex Systems". In a natural business cycling sense we should see more failure. A system that is truly open and free should see more risk and more loss. On the one hand this minimal closure rate indicates not enough trying. Therefore not enough incentive to risk the cost of participation. OTOH it indicates a lack of competitiveness involving winners and losers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How many tries for the lightbulb? What was each try? We cannot possibly be trying hard enough to find the best business models if we are not in the process of eliminating those that do not work.</DIV>

<DIV>I was very heartened to read of the Press Release regarding the Twin Cities Sero grand predictions for a fairly new concept .Artist which will at least strive to be a community networking inter and intra community networking concept. I was likewise very pleased to see some momentum going for .gay. I was quite bummed out to see both of them fall prey to fairly typical "<EM>Press Release" </EM>for an <EM>"offereing</EM>" stylized announcements and suggesting rather typical business models. They seem to stand out in concept but are rather dull in inventiveness for people to invest of themselves into the origin of the species.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I am so blessed to be able to teach marketing and business in rather socialist -Mexico and rather communist-Vietnam the first lessons that I pound into the skulls of mush is the Right to Fail. ICANN is not promoting this concept. They somehow tie in the concept of "failure of the system" which is quite a bogeyman in engineering, to the business model where the right to fail is paramount to invention, innovation, synergy and evolution of our kind.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Everyday I scan my Spam for the failures. I read a few and then I pause and try to think what I could learn from each one -- what not to do - what fire not to stick my hand in - and then I give thanks for those who try.</DIV>
